No religious conservative seeks or thinks to ask forgiveness for their nationalism.  Indeed it does not get bundled among the cornucopia assortment of depravities.  But when you are sorting out the ransoms and haggling over the bargains in your personal dealings with Jesus, I suggest you might ask “H”im about nationalism specifically.  If the answer is that you are lauded and merit a gold star or a medal, I suggest that you perhaps question the “relationship” for it will not work that way.

Yes, granted. We are human, filled with foibles, imperfections, faults. Of course, I have those too. I don’t deny that. Many of yours have I also and likewise. We are deluded, prejudiced, selfish, proud, determined to be right about political things and suchlike. I am very much so. We are, to use a term of yours, one I would never, ever, ever – on any condition – ever use: depraved.

Yes. Of course.

I know you are. So am I. Yet that doesn’t preclude the pure spirit within us from being as pure as the light in the source. Light begets light. We are pure light within. It is only a matter of realization. Realization is that eternity is ever and ever is now and eternity is ever now and the kingdom has ever been at hand. And we are eternal. Pure light within light, like waves within the ocean. Realize within. Experience. Don’t bargain. Don’t look around everywhere lost. Now is not to come. Now is evermore.

When I emerge from a regularly scheduled or rewardingly unscheduled concentrated stoppage of time following and continuing as flow of an intense and most freshly welcomed experience of extended literal peace and literal quiet aum-word I can oft more keenly observe in the glowing of all now afterwards.

When I sometimes flow on to thus observe our country that is oft proudly boasted of as a “Christian” “nation” this is what I observe, and I’ll be uncharacteristically word-sharing and frank:

I observe a proud boasting false country that worships militancy and soldiery and pays lip-service to Jesus; a false country that fundamentally misunderstands and consistently mistakes Jesus for Christ and vice for versa; a false country of proud boasting flawed people who freely endow and laden so thus (as previously mentioned) mistaken Christ with all sundry of super-human powers, rendering him [sic] to be an overly expected copious dispenser of a mystical cornucopia of pez; a false country that believes the word to be [collected] figure[s] on a page or a personalized panderesque-patronized provisionally pulled favorite figure of speech.

Yet I am conditioned well by blissful experience of the peacefully and quietly emerging from the delightful stoppage of time to take this observational all in a gentle, accepting, and loving way.

There are reasons why Jesus sounds like Kung Fu

But the reasons why he does not are sinister, dark, imperial, arbitrary, curiouser, and curiouser . . .

If you had only the slightest, most infinitesimal sublime understanding of just how little this planet is necessary within context of the universe,

then your perspective just might change and you could become wholly less fear-shackled and largely more completely in tune with . . .

 . . . the harmony of the music of the spheres

Knowing that I would help someone

is as far as I need be known.

Jesus is so centered.
Who could not love Jesus?

Spirituality may be nothing more
than being aware

that your representative on earth (your physical self)
is doing you a grievous disservice

The minds of man can create the most negative possible interpretation
deliberative stab at understanding the Realm of Wisdom/Kingdom of Heaven
within all bounds and limitations of the maya delusion of the physical world

Augustine baked the cake
and Calvin applied the cold, somber frosting
Neurotics and psychotics have followed in dreadful debilitating fear
of physical world devotion

in the name of authority
